Peace River Songtext
von Citizen Cope

I come from a place
Run by a man named Mr. Page
He took everything and he wanted more
A gun and a knife and he used them both
He′d smack you in the head in public
He'd kick you down and he′d think nothing of it
Take your head down, swallow your pride
If you want to live to see the night
And I guess I had my fill
I ran from the valley to the top of the hill
And even though I got away
I couldn't shake Mr. Page
And I fulfilled all my desires
I couldn't put out the fire
A thing going in my head
That I need to put to rest


So I take off, fly on
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Jack London been giving me a call
And I′m done falling
So I can take off, fly on
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Swim in the peace river for a month
Oh, darling

I packed my bags and went
To a place I promised I′d never been
Coming from a cowardly stance
That turned me to a cowardly man
And y'all wouldn′t believe what I'd seen
Mr. Page he was broke at the knees
Somebody so brave and strong
Just turned weak and worn
And the fear it disappeared
And the hate it followed it
Couldn′t place it occupied
And we were raised by love and lies


So I take off, fly on
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Jack London been giving me a call
And I'm done falling
So I can take off, fly on
Get a little bit of step in my walk
Swim in the peace river for a month
Oh, darling
